Spring Home Maintenance

We did some looking around and found a few nice home maintenance checklists for the spring. So if you're looking for something to do this weekend, here you go. Or, if you'd rather blow off the preventative maintenance and pay big bucks for it at a later date, that's fine too.

Housekeeping Channel has a good all around list that focuses on our house's systems. They suggest things like checking your air filters, your chimney, and the pressure on your hot water tank. They have a nice 'click the word for the definition' feature as well. Their article is here.

The Mississippi State University Extension Service has a list that concentrates on the exterior of your house. They give you an idea of what to look for and have some suggestions on what do do if things don't look the way they should. Here.

HomeInspectorLocator.com has a very complete list of things to watch out for in your house. It deals with systems, interior, exterior, and even gives description of common bugs and other pests. Here.
